Brazilian challenges in international trade
International contracts put firms and lawyers in the complex position to find appropriate solutions in the middle of the application of different legal systems. To facilitate global trade, the United Nations sponsored the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. With the recent accession of Brazil to this Convention, a comprehensive effort of our doctrine and our jurisprudence will be needed to adjust the existing differences between the Brazilian civil law and this new source of normative reference. In a study published by the Revista de Informação Legislativa do Senado Federal, Bruno Fernandes Dias faces one of the main controversies in this area: the treatment of interest charges.
